Dalits protest against Health Minister
Dalits on Friday staged a demonstration against Rajasthan Medical and
Health Minister Duru Miyan in Alwar, accusing him of shielding those
who had ransacked their houses last month.
Dalits staged the protest at the Circuit House where the Minister, who
was in the district for a public hearing, was present.
The Minister left the place as the protest was on.
Dalit leader Suraj Mal alleged the Minister was shielding those who
hand ransacked their houses.
The protesters, all residents of Husainpur village, demanded immediate
arrest of those who damaged their houses.
The district administration has sanctioned financial assistance of Rs
25,000 each to 16 dalit families whose houses were ransacked.
Last Monday, hundreds of dalits staged a protest demanding a judicial
probe into the incident.
They had alleged those who had ransacked their homes had the
protection of ruling party leaders in Rajasthan.
Besides compensation to affected families, they had demanded stern
action against police and district officers for their "inaction".
